    When right click over a URL Ultraedit offers to launch the URL in the default browser...

    This is a feature I use a lot.

    The problem I found recently is that URLs that have a "?" in them are cut at the "?".

    Example:
    For http://www.xyz.com/media.asp?mark=Linear
    only launch browser with http://www.xyz.com/media.asp

    I think this is a regex problem in the url recognizer.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Thanks

      The feature automatically detect file paths/names under caret for context menu open is preliminary for file names and not URLs. A question mark is not allowed in file names.

      This feature is not customizable. So you can only send a feature request email to IDM support asking for an enhancement regarding detection of URLs containing a question mark.

      As workaround you can manually select the entire URL before right clicking. Or you write a macro or script which detects an URL under the caret and runs a user tool calling your browser with the selected URL. With a hotkey or chord assigned to the macro/script this would be the fastest method to open an URL in your browser.

        Hi Mofi,

        thanks for your answer... :lol:

        The 2 solutions you pointed I had already discovered them... 8)
        ...and sticked to the selection thing... which works and it's only a minor annoyance... :mrgreen:

        As url's become a very used feature I think the correct action is to send the request to IDM... :!:
